    You can try, but stuff change all over the place, so if you get
    rejects, you are probably better off starting clean.

    Also, someone (sorry, I forgot your name) wrote me asking if

    	toint("2.5")				[=> 0]

    shouldn't return the same as

    	toint(2.5) or toint(tofloat("2.5"))	[=> 2]

    But, if so, shouldn't

    	toint("#408")				[=> 0]

    return the same as

    	toint(#408) or toint(toobj("#408"))	[=> 408]

    Same, tofloat("#408") should return 408.0, and toobj("E_INVARG")
    ought to return #13.

    It seems to me that changing the behaviour of the to*() functions this
    drastically in order to improve transience is probably not a good idea
    at this stage.
